m Democracy's County
III IN Convention will meet
WI n this evening in the
WcSTry-N large hall of Cooper
%| 49, Institute, and, after Sc
lecting a Conference Committee. will adjourn
for n few days. The two conference CON-
mittees will simmer down to subcommittee,
which will be controlled by q few leaders. It
is not at all improbable that these leaders
have already prepared n slate that will be &C
cepted by the subcommittee, recommended
by the committees and then ratified by the
two conventions.
All sorts of rumors are flying around local
political resorts regarding the makeup Of
the Tammany Hall and County Democracy
union ticket. Among County Democracy
men it is openly boosted that Assistant Dis
trict-Attorney James Fitzgerald is to be the
nominee for District Attorney and that Dis
trict-Attorney Randolph b. MARITIME will be
nominated for Judge of the Court of SEES
sions. 1t was said that the fat had been is
sued from the New Amsterdam Gu and that
the seal of Police Justice Maurice j. Power
had been attached to it.
Several County Democracy leaders who
thought it would be polite for the party to
nominate Mr.: Nicoll for District Attorney
and MIR. MARITIME for Judge of the Court Of
Sessions, would not admit that anything
definite had been agreed upon. They say,
nevertheless, hat Police Justice Power has
such q grip on the County Democracy ma
chine that he can dictate its candidates.
" If, said one of these leaders, Mr.. Mar
tine should have backbone enough to re-
fuse the nomination for Judge unless Mr..
Eicoll IL named for District Attorney, Police
Justice Power would be checkmated in his
determination IN nominate EtyUprnll far
District Attorney. However,, Power has
brought all the pressure and influence he
could to bear upon District Attorney Mar
tine, and 1t remains to be seen whether he
has succeeded in his attempt"
There were many Democratic politicians at
the Aston House to-day who thought that if a
slate had been prepared with Fitzgerald for
District-Attorney, there was yet q chance of
last expedient to sot aside Mr.. Nicoll, Mr..
MARITIME would be renominated for District
Attorney.
The Tanmany Hall lenders have conceded
the nominations for District Attorney and
Judge of the Court of Sessions to the County
Democracy, and at the conferences will prob
ably not lay claim to these two offices. They
would prefer the County Democracy to NOM
mate Mr.. Nicoll for District Attorney and
MIR. MARITIME for Judge, but do not wish to
place Tammany Hall i'll the position of die
Eating to the County Democracy. Mr.. W..
Bourke Cochran, in speaking to an EVENING
WORLD reporter tnlS morning, Salu tDht ne
thought that Mr.. Nicoll and Mr.. MARITIME
would make the success of the ticket IA GER
tainty If they were both nominated upon it.
u" nm told, remarked MIR. Cochran, that
Mr.. Fitzgerald is the choice of a majority of
the County Democracy leaders for District
Attorney. / have not heard, however, hat
he has been finally decided upon"
Sheriff Hugh j., Grant, when spoken to on
subject, said THE County Democracy will
appoint their Conference Committee to-
night. When our Conference Committee
meets their committee, the ~consulta-
ton will not only be on II fair basis
for harmony and union, but on the most
available candidates to nominate. Each
candidates proposed by the other. Speak
ing candidly, | do not know who the County
Democracy will propose for Dissatisfaction
ney., Sometimes | hear 1t will be Mr.: Fitz-
gerald , then l am told that Mr.. Nicoll is to
be the nominee"
Commissioner Croker said that there had
been n great deal of talk about states, but he
did not think any one living could tell how
the union ticket would be made up. There
is nothing sure in politics." he added, " and
when the conference committees get to-
gether their duty will be to select II ticket
that can win"
wish to see II ticket nominated that can be
elected. They have several ~favorite can
didates for District Attorney whom they
would rather see elected than Mr.. Nicoll, but
they know that there is u popular feeling for
Mr.. Nicoll and that his nomination would
help candidates for Senator, Assembly
and Civil Justices in close districts.
All Tammany Hall men who are slated for
nomination are in favor of Mr.. Nicoll. They
know that his nomination for District-Attor-
ney would help them. Some of the Tam
many Hall leaders are disposed to find fault
ut the conference meetings if Mr.. Nicoll's
name is not mentioned by the County De-
nocracy representatives.
If,h said a Tammauy Hnll lender. " we
should refuse to unite, unless Nicoll and
MARITIME are nominated, we would place our
organization in a splendid light before the
public, The County Democracy gould not
afford to bolt II union on Fitzgerald's &C
count; l am sorry, TO say there are .rumors
to the effect that our principal lead
ers have had an understanding with
Police Justice Maurice j. Power.
/ scarcely believe that Commissioner Croker,
w. Bourke Cochran and Sheriff Grant will
consent to make up n ticket that may be de-
feated. 1t would be easy for MS to elect the
entire ticket with Nicoll for District-Attorney
and MARITIME for Judge"
The Republicans are still thinking of NOM
mating Messrs. Nicoll and MARITIME on their
ticket. 1t is said that ex-senator Thomas Q.
Plat and the members of the State Commit
tee are in favor of these nominations Mr.,
Cornelius n. Bliss, Chairman Of the State
Committee, thinks that the nomination OF
Marine and HiG9ll BY I, the Soo County
TO the Republican State ticket. The
Republican Convention has adjourned for q
week TO consider the subject. When it reas.
sembles, il will have an opportunity to profit
by the mistakes of the Democracy, and will
also have Il better chance TO judge public
sentiment after the union Democratic ticket
is in the field.
somewhat Distant.
